Give An Inch

Friday, November 30th, 2007

We discourage Stella from settling on Claire’s play quilts (a pathetic attempt to reduce cat hair, ha!). But of course, Stella must assert herself — only so far. It’s rather sweet.
Also, I’m showing off. Go see this photo and this photo.

Bah

It’s A Good Day

Monday, November 26th, 2007

For two reasons:
1) I cooked. I roasted a chicken, made couscous, cooked broccoli. That’s an accomplishment.
